ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP
In November 2024, I will lead a once-in-a-lifetime expedition experience deep into Antarctica to photograph the mighty Emperor Penguins. The expedition will see us photographing the world's most southerly Emperor Penguin colony on the sea ice at Gould Bay, deep in the Weddell Sea.
This expedition is for a limited number of just eight photographers plus a leader. We will travel by privately chartered transport jet deep into Antarctica, landing on a pre-prepared ice runway. From our base camp, only 600 miles from the South Pole, we will take a privately chartered Twin-Otter ski aircraft to the remote Emperor Penguin colony on the sea ice. We will establish a field camp on the sea ice and photograph the Emperors and Emperor Penguin Chicks on the sea ice against a backdrop of incredible mountains, icebergs, and pressure ridges. We will photograph throughout the night when the light is soft and golden in an expedition opportunity dedicated to photography. If you are excited about travelling to one of the remotest regions in Antarctica to live and photograph with the majestic Emperor Penguins, now is the time to register your place by using the Register Online link at the bottom of this page. Places are strictly limited, and once spoken for, that's it.
